LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run
J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244
LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…
PyCBC Live Search for Compact Binary Mergers in Advanced LIGO and Virgo's Fourth Observing Run
Max Trevor, Gareth S. Cabourn Davies, Tito Dal Canton +4
PyCBC Live is a low-latency search pipeline that identifies gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences and provides alerts for electromagnetic follow-up. This paper prese…
Rapid data quality investigations of gravitational-wave events with the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit
Derek Davis, Zach Yarbrough, Joseph Areeda +30
We present the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit, DQRbuild, a suite of data quality tools that have been developed to vet gravitational-wave events in preparation for the fourth…
Compact Binary Coalescence Sensitivity Estimates with Injection Campaigns during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations' Fourth Observing Run
Reed Essick, Michael W. Coughlin, Michael Zevin +21
We describe the effort to characterize gravitational-wave searches and detector sensitivity to different types of compact binary coalescences during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborat…
Performance of iDQ ahead of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA's fourth observing run
Rachael Huxford, Richard George, Max Trevor +2
The gravitational wave detectors used by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, and the Virgo Collaboration are incredibly sensitive instruments which frequently detect non-stationary,…
What is the nature of GW230529? An exploration of the gravitational lensing hypothesis
Justin Janquart, David Keitel, Rico K. L. Lo +26
On the 29th of May 2023, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration observed a compact binary coalescence event consistent with a neutron star-black hole merger, though the heavier object…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object
Elise M. Sänger, Soumen Roy, Michalis Agathos +16
On May 29, 2023, the LIGO Livingston observatory detected the gravitational-wave signal GW230529_181500 from the merger of a neutron star with a lower mass-gap compact object. Its…
Low-latency gravitational wave alert products and their performance at the time of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Sushant Sharma Chaudhary, Andrew Toivonen, Gaurav Waratkar +50
Multi-messenger searches for BNS and NSBH mergers are currently one of the most exciting areas of astronomy. The search for joint electromagnetic and neutrino counterparts to GWs h…
Variability of extragalactic X-ray jets on kiloparsec scales
Eileen T. Meyer, Aamil Shaik, Yanbo Tang +10
Unexpectedly strong X-ray emission from extragalactic radio jets on kiloparsec scales has been one of the major discoveries of Chandra, the only X-ray observatory capable of sub-ar…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality during the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
Incorporating information from LIGO data quality streams into the PyCBC search for gravitational waves
Derek Davis, Max Trevor, Simone Mozzon +1
We present a new method which accounts for changes in the properties of gravitational-wave detector noise over time in the PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact binary…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs
D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284
The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…
No Signatures of Black-Hole Spin in the X-ray Spectrum of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy Fairall 9
Tahir Yaqoob, Tracey Jane Turner, Malachi M. Tatum +2
Fairall 9 is one of several type 1 active galactic nuclei for which it has been claimed that the angular momentum (or spin) of the supermassive black hole can be robustly measured,…
